Ed, Eff-XR is the only AD that has ever helped my anxiety. Prozac increased my anxiety.
I look way back and see anxiety before the onset of depression. I mean anxiety began earlier in my life than depression.
I'm so in an unhoho way this season; don't think there's any drug to help. I've been on 'em all! Only choice is to pray for some life change and try something else, maybe again; a time when I am closer to at least one person. Pretty on my own here. I'm going to ask P about Ativan anyway. Tks cf

Everyone who has tried a variety of different benzos seems to have a favourite one....... I prefer lorazepam but other people might prefer alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, bromazepam etc. I also prefer diazepam (Valium) to Xanax.
